[gentoo-portage-dev] Questions about CVS locations and GID...

[m h <sesquile@gmail.com>]

Hey Folks-

I'm working on trying to get prefixed installs working.  (As such, I'm
using some code kindly modified by Michael Haubenwallner. )  I'm now
in python code (portage) and would like to compare what I have with
gentoo proper.
Is this the location of the latest up to date portage code (in CVS, I
realized devs might have more "up to date" code on their boxes):
http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/portage/pym/?root=gentoo-src

I looked through the dev documentation but couldn't find anywhere
where it stated the actual location of the code in CVS.  Any pointers
would be great.

thanks,
matt

ps.
The issue I found is with pym/cache/fs_template.py.  If I'm running as
root (GID = 0) then this fails:

        def __init__(self, label, auxdbkeys, basepath=None, gid=-1,
perms=0664, **config):
               """throws InitializationError if needs args aren't specified"""
               if not gid:
                       raise
cache_errors.InitializationError(self.__class__, "must specify gid!")

Shouldn't the logic be "if gid != -1"?  I don't have access to a
gentoo proper box right now...
